The Quiz master hosts a quiz that engages all the meeting members.
This quiz could have questions based on the theme of the meeting, the question of the week, or anything that happened during the meeting. The quiz will test the members listening skills and general knowledge.
The questions should be based purely on good listening skills and the audience’s ability to pay attention. The questions should not be trivial, but neither is it about testing the audience’s skills at details.
Before the meeting
- Choose your preferred quiz delivery style. There are some online websites and apps that can be used to present the questions and collect answers.
- Kahoot and Jeopardy Labs, are 2 sites we have tested in meetings that work well.
- You should have a list of 10-20 questions prepared or you can make them during the meeting and give about 30 seconds to reveal the question and accept answers
- Questions may also be presented without the use of an app or online game.it can be done by asking the list of questions and selecting a method that contestants can”buzz-in” i.e. raise hand, ring a bell, make a noise. To randomize it you could draw questions from a hat.
